VOL. 149 - NO. 22 SIDNEY, NEW YORK — THURSDAY, MAY 28, 2015 SUGGESTED PRICE 75¢ Kenneth S. Paden 2015 MAC CHAMPIONS, members of the Sidney Boys and Girls Track and Field Teams, celebrate their respective victories. The teams won their team titles at the Midstate Athletic Conference track and field championships May 21. For a story on the individual events earning them the MAC championships, see page 13 of the sports section. (Photo by Shelly Stillman) With great sadness the staff at the Tri-Town News and its sister newspaper in Greene must share with our readers the news of the untimely death of Kenneth “Ken” Paden, owner-publisher, on Monday, May 25. On a day when we remember those who have died in service to their country, we must also speak of our grief in the loss of not only our employer, but a unique man who has been a friend to all of us. Ken’s nearly 40 years with this community newspaper and, until its sale several years ago, Sidney Favorite Printing, has earned him the respect and affection of many. Quiet and unassuming, Ken’s dedication and hard work to provide a quality newspaper for the community, and his devotion to his family – wife Sue and daughters Kelly and Kristy – as well as to his newspaper family, identified him as a caring man with high ideals and a compassionate heart. Ken, we will miss you. ACCO Brands’ Commitment to Sidney Is Being Recognized by Sidney C of C SIDNEY – ACCO Brands has been an important part of the Sidney community for 69 years, and this year the Sidney Chamber of Commerce is recognizing the company as the 2015 Business of the Years. Located near the airport at 101 O’Neil Road, the ACCO Brands Sidney business unit began as Keith Clark in New York City in 1923. It relocated to downtown Sidney in 1946 and moved to its present location in 1970. Known as AT-AGLANCE in the late 1990s, the company was acquired by the Mead Corp. in 1999 and became MeadWestvaco in January 2002 when Mead and Westvaco merged. In 2012, it merged with ACCO Brands. It is currently the area’s second largest employer with approximately 650 employees. Jeff Almasian, General Manager at ACCO Brands stated, “Our people are our greatest asset. This award is a direct reflection of their hard work, dedication and commitment to exceeding our customer’s expectations.” Almasian goes on to say, “Our community and our region, are important to us. We are committed to be actively involved in the communities where our employees reside and in the organizations that enrich the educational and cultural experiences available in our region”. The ACCO Brands Corporation, a global office products manufacturer with almost 6,000 employees worldwide, also strongly values the Sidney site, investing over $20M in new capabilities and equipment, since the merger. Last year, 31 new employees were hired in Sidney, and this year the company is expecting to hire another 15 employees. ACCO Brands and its predecessors have had a representative on the Sidney Chamber of Commerce for 30 years, and have provided major support for the Chamber’s activities. In 2014, the company was a primary sponsor of the Chamber’s Jolly Holly Days celebration and provided a float for the parade. The company also provides financial and product donations to many organizations and projects that enrich the lives of local residents. It is a major supporter of Keith Clark Park and the new Sidney Veterans Memorial Park under development.

The ALR was first established as a local post program in 1993 at Post 396, Garden City, Mich., and has since grown to over 1,500 local “chapters” worldwide in 2014. The 2015 current national membership is roughly 106,000 Riders, all of whom are current members of The American Legion, The American Legion Auxiliary, and The Sons of The American Legion. Riders raise and donate hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to countless national, state, and local programs and charities for veterans, military families, and local communities. The ALR is not a motorcycle club, but rather an association of like-minded Legion Family members who enjoy family activities and the opportunity to advance the aims and goals of the American Legion. We are looking for riders who hold a current valid motorcycle license and own a motorcycle. Riders also must either be a current member of any post of the American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary or Sons of the American Legion, or be eligible to become a member of either.

STATE SENATOR JAMES L. SEWARD Paying Tribute To Our Veterans As the New York State Senate takes up a number of vital issues over the closing weeks of the 2015 legislative session there is still some time to break from the daily debate and focus attention on individuals who have gone the extra mile. This past week, just before Memorial Day, afforded just such an opportunity with a special ceremony to honor the exceptional men and women of the military who have served and sacrificed for our nation in the armed forces. Each and every veteran deserves our recognition and thanks for defending our nation and protecting our way of life. One way the state senate has seen fit to honor our veterans is through a special on-line hall of fame. Established in 2005, the New York State Senate Veterans’ Hall of Fame pays tribute to outstanding veterans from across the Empire State expressing our gratitude and admiration for their heroic deeds. This year, it gives me great pride to recognize Colonel Anthony Gabriel, Jr. of Herkimer as a 2015 inductee to the hall of fame. Gabriel proudly served our nation for a total of thirty-six years in the United States Army, enlisting as a buck Private in 1948 and retiring as a full Colonel in 1984. He performed at an exemplary level during his time in the European Theater, Korean War zones and while training his successors. In his civilian life, he has been a devoted community leader; serving as village trustee, Herkimer Boxing Club president, 4th degree knight/ life member of the Knights of Columbus, and helped build many Mohawk Valley landmarks as a past president/life member of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters & Joiners of America. He is also a life member/ past post commander of Michael Pliseck V.F.W. Post #4915. He served on the committee that was the first in the nation to send WWII veterans to Washington, DC, to visit their WWII memorial. Gabriel helped establish the Veterans Memorial Park monument on the Herkimer County Community College campus and his name is one of ten Gabriel family members names etched on the monument honoring his family’s over 110 years of active duty service from World War I to present day. A special senate resolution adopted in recognition of the 2015 honorees reads in part: WHEREAS, Members of the armed services from the state of New York, who have served so valiantly and honorably in wars in which this country’s freedom was at stake, as well as in the preservation of peace in peacetime, deserve a special salute from this legislative body; and WHEREAS, The banner of freedom will always wave over our beloved New York and all of America, the land of the free and the home of the brave; and WHEREAS, The freedoms and security we cherish as Americans come at a very high price for those serving in the military in times of conflict; it is fitting and proper that we who are the beneficiaries of those who risk their lives, must never forget the courage with which these men and women served their country. There are many more tales of valor and distinguished service like Gabriel’s and the New York State Senate Veterans’ Hall of Fame is an ideal venue to trumpet the meritorious service of our military members. If you are interested in reading more about inductees, past and present, you can do so on-line through my website, www.senatorjimseward.com. Along with honoring our veterans, we should not forget their families – mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons – who also participated in the rich tradition of military life. Finally, I want to say thank you to all who have served and are currently serving our nation. Your courage, sacrifice and achievement are something each and every American can be proud of.

Sidney Mayor Elwood “Dixie” Davis, the Sidney Village Board and the Sidney Recreation Commission wish to announce that the auditorium area of the Sidney Civic Center is being made available to the Tri-Town Boys and Girls Club for use as the club’s central facility. It is the goal of the Boys and Girls Club to renovate the auditorium section of the Civic Center to produce a level floor and, as funds allow, make separate activity rooms and put a partition between the auditorium area and the gym. SIDNEY 50 YEARS AGO May 26, 1965 Rev. Irving F. Ballert, Jr., Vicar of Saint Luke’s Church, Troy, and St. John’s Chapel, West Sand Lake, will become rector of St. Paul’s Church, Sidney, on July 1. Current Rev. Canon J. Alan diPretoro will assume the rectorship of Saint John’s Church, Cohoes, NY on July 1, after having completed five and a half years as rector of the Sidney parish. Since May 1964, the parish has embarked on a major property renovation campaign to prepare for the 100th anniversary of the first service held in Sidney in 1868. This has included the demolition of the old parish house, barn and garage and the erection of a new parish house matching the church. A new garage has been erected and the rectory has been sided and painted. The renovation program has included new heating in all the buildings and provision of space for the various activities of the parish. The completion of this project in 1968 will mark 100 years of the Episcopal Church in Sidney and will provide all the facilities for parish operation and will see the liquidation of all parish indebtedness. May 23, 1940 – Approval has been received from the State Education Department for the Sidney Vocational School, according to a letter from Ernest D. Cole, deputy commissioner, thus giving sanction to the issuance of $8,000 worth of bonds which will provide the funds for the purchase of the necessary capital outlay to inaugurate the school. Architect Clarence H.

BAINBRIDGE 50 YEARS AGO May 26, 1965 George and Robert James are practicing up for the General Clinton Canoe Regatta. The brothers have been in both previous races and last year won the youth race from Oneonta to Bainbridge. This year they are among the 27 contestants in the 70-mile race. General James Clinton found the water at the mouth of Otsego Lake so shallow in 1779 that he was forced to build a dam at the end of the lake to get enough water to float his canoe bateaux down river on his famous Indian Expedition from which this week’s General Clinton Canoe Regatta from Cooperstown to Bainbridge got its name. His force included 1,800 men, three month’s provisions and 200 boats. He was to proceed from Albany, up the Mohawk to Canajoharie, crossing to Otsego Lake then down the Susquehanna to Tioga Point (Athens, Pa.) where he was to join forces with General John Sullivan. The bateaux floated downstream 30 miles the first day while the troops went 16 hiking. The lake had been raised about three feet and the sudden freshet of water swelled the almost dry stream for a distance of 100 miles. As far south as Tioga, the rise in water was great enough to flow FRIDAY, MAY 29 COLD PLATE: turkey salad, potato salad, cottage cheese on cranberry sauce, pineapple-orange juice, dinner roll, fresh watermelon MONDAY, JUNE 1 Spaghetti with sauce, meatballs, spinach, cabbage Waldorf salad, garlic bread, chocolate pudding TUESDAY, JUNE 2 Pineapple chicken, rice pilaf, broccoli, cran-grape juice, whole wheat bread, sliced peaches WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3 Homestyle meatloaf, mushroom gravy, Swiss baked potatoes, stewed toamtoes, cranberry sauce, whole wheat bread, rice pudding THURSDAY, JUNE 4 Pot roast with gravy, mashed potatoes, red cabbage, apple juice, whole wheat bread, jello FRIDAY, JUNE 5 COLD PLATE: tuna salad, Italian pasta salad, cottage cheese and peaches, marinated carrot salad, dinner roll, vanilla ice cream WINDY HILL SR.

The Rotary Clubs of Unadilla and Otego have announced the selection of Dexter Allen, Beth Elliot and Leslie Senton as participants in the Rotary Youth Leaders conference to be held this summer. UNADILLA 55 YEARS AGO May 27, 1960 The Open House held at the newly reconstructed Unadilla National Bank building Wednesday evening was attended by about 600 visitors. The original building, erected in 1909, was enlarged in 1925 by 400 square feet. The recent remodeling program added a space of 20 feet by 70 feet, nearly doubling the floor area. Postmaster Lee Murphy reports he has had 493 requests, including some for as many as 100, for the special Boy Scout cancellation issued at the local post office. The Unadilla Music Center, located at 14 Main St. in the historic Hayes House, one of the twin houses built by Unadilla early settlers and merchants Isaac Hayes and his brother-in-law, will have its grand opening Friday evening, June 3. The Hayes Houses, started in 1800 and completed in 1804, were considered at that time the most spectacular residences between Catskill and Ithaca along the old Catskill Turnpike. Tri-Town News — Thursday, May 28, 2015 — 5 Regatta Row Chair Auction Caps Win-Win Arts Event BAINBRIDGE – For 14 lucky bidders the culmination auction of the first ever Regatta Row – Art Trail painted paddle chair project will literally take “a front row seat” in memories of the 53rd Annual General Clinton Canoe Regatta. For others, particularly those with ties to the tri-town area, the event has been part of a re-unification, melding memories of the river culture and local history through creative craftsmanship and artistic expression as well as through coordinating volunteer help from the community. Brain child of the Jericho Arts Council’s (JAC) Gallery Committee, and subsequently spearheaded by committee member Nancy Kitchen, the event evolved from the Nov. grant possibility proposal to JAC and presentation at a Reunite Bainbridge meeting, through Jan. grant application deadlines with the Chenango County Council of the Arts, ongoing fundraising, the crafting of chairs by Riverside Farms owner Dan Stoltzfus, to the May 2 “Meet the Artists Fest” and finally, the May 23 ending auction conducted by Ron Ingham. A giant chair, made from a pattern by Dan Stoltzfus and donated by Bainbridge Town Councilman Dave DeClue, was a major advertisement and attraction originally located by the Bainbridge Town Hall door. Those taking photos of friends and family in the “hot seat” put a new twist on fun and festivities as well as facebook postings. Following the May 23 presentation of artist gifts funded by a decentralization grant awarded through the Chenango County Council of the Arts, awards for winners with “first chair” status in the form of “People’s Choice” votes were presented. Massachusetts artist Cyndy Patterson Weeks with “Paddling My Own Canoe” and Birte Jorgensen with “Moss Pillow Dreams” tied for first. Honorable Mention/Runner Up recognition for Wendy Stanton and James Price was announced with note that they are from the ARC Otsego Main View Gallery and Studio. Ian Tonnessen won the bid for their “Monsters Garden by the River.” Weeks’ chair, which previously won for Most Creative and was partially inspired by her experience helping tri-town area relatives recover from being flooded out, also sold for the highest bid. Owner Miranda Robinson, attending her father’s induction into the Regatta Hall of Fame, commented that it fits because she really does paddle her own canoe. Jorgensen’s concept of dream clouds seen while lying on the mossy ground, captured Best in Show as well as the bid of John Haddad who also bought Christopher Lloyd Wright’s winner of the Mayor’s Award for best representation of Bainbridge, the regatta or the region. Ann Relic was the highest bidder for Karyn MeyerBerthel’s creativity Honorable Mention “Regatta Row” and “Splash of Color” by the Golden Artist Colors design team. It was noted that Golden Artist Colors donated materials, funds and expertise as well as painting a chair. “Maple Leaf Relief” by New Jersey artist Germaine Alcaro went to Ruth Lind and Kristy DeGroat won the bid for Sherri Lane’s tribute to Bainbridge dairy farms. Cookie Witham’s birds of happiness chair brought happiness to Olaf and Margaret Tonnessen who took it home to Connecticut. “Susquehanna Reflections” by Cindy Craver Johnson and “Returning Hunter” by Phil and Elise Craver “returned” to Bainbridge in the hands of Michael Johnson. Wil Spalholz won the bid for Ellen Lockhart’s chair featuring the Borden story bovines Elsie and Elmer, and Hans Spalholz had a lucky “break” which brought him the bid for the chair he designed to promote the passion for playing pool. Samantha Spalholz’ chair “Forever Enchanted” will forever enchant bid winner Bret Davenport. Whether you voted for People’s Choice or not, bid or didn’t, if you saw those chairs and appreciated the craftsman who made them, the message and media expertise of the artists who painted them, you are a winner. Don’t let the 2015 Regatta Row – Art Trail canoe paddle chair project take a backseat in your memory. Let it be an inspiration to continue cultivating the love of the arts, history and community spirit in the future We Apologize The Jericho Garden Club of Bainbridge members do an outstanding job of beautifying their community. Last week we ran a photo of the members at their annual planting day. We apologize for a typographical error - it should have read Jeanne not Joanne Cherniak as one of the members pictured, and Colleen Winn was among the members absent from the photo.

REPRESENTATIVES FROM ACCO BRANDS Charitable Contribution Committee, Anne Niles and Dan Bartz, are shown here with some grateful members of the local Boys and Girls Club. ACCO Brands Is Generous Every Calendar Day SIDNEY - On a bitterly cold winter’s day this January, my mind was flooded with worries. As a new executive director of The Boys and Girls Club, I witnessed young people coming in without coats, boots, mittens, hats or the normal gear that one would expect a young person walking in below zero weather to have on. However, the youth of Sidney continued to come and seek the warmth, comfort and safety that the staff and board of director’s strive to offer to our youth every day. At night, their faces would continue to flash through my mind, not allowing sleep to come easily. The following day, I made calls to local companies, friends of the boys and girls club in the past, and explained how dire the situation was for our youth and their families. I was able to speak in person to Ann Niles from ACCO Brands, who took up the cause and assured me that ACCO Brands would help. Indeed, they did! A check for $2,000 arrived in the mail shortly thereafter, which went a long way in being able to provide assistance with a coat drive, clothing drives and even a six week cooking class which the children and families enjoyed. Being able to send children home warm and with full bel- Richard W. Wakeman, Inc. Commercial Construction Richard W.

Although the name of the company may have changed over the years, the citizens of the tri-town area must rest assured that ACCO Brands continues to support the youth of the area consistently, and has done so for 25 years. On this, our Silver anniversary, all who are involved with the Boys and Girls Club wish to thank ACCO Brands for their continued service and dedication to the families and youth of the tri-town area.

BAXTER’S DRIVING SCHOOL www.baxterdriving.com 284 Main St. Johnson City, NY Call Today 797-7776 HARPURSVILLE - Are you now or were you ever a resident of the Town of Colesville and the surrounding area? Were you ever a student at Harpursville Central School? Are you a history buff or do you speak four or five languages besides your own? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then you already may know about Erwin. Erwin Kahn passed away July 28, 2014. He was an historian; a relentless researcher, a record-keeper extraordinaire; a photographer as it related to his passion for saving a record of all things important to local history. He knew several languages, at times working as an interpreter. For 18 years Erwin taught in Spain and the U.S. He graduated from Harpursville Central School in 1964 and from SUNY New Paltz in 1968. For many years he was passionately active in the Alumni Association at HCS. In Erwin’s memory, locally and nation-wide, friends are giving money to fund a scholarship to be awarded to a student who is graduating from HCS in June of this year. If you would like to support his effort, mail your contribution to: Harpursville Central School, Attn: Jill Andrews, PO Box 147, Harpursville, NY 13787. Checks should be made out to Harpursville Central School with “E. Kahn” on the memo line. To be included in this year’s award, money should be received by the end of May. School personnel will select a student who “will further his/her education in the fields of history and/or languages and who works toward goals with diligence, one of Erwin’s many talents.” This will be an annual award with an ongoing account managed by the school. If you can, remember to donate next year and following years. Erwin Kahn was a unique individual whose legacy for the Town of Colesville and beyond will not be equaled any time soon. The materials left for us, the example of his work ethic, all are irreplaceable. PET OF THE WEEK DELAWARE VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY SIDNEY 563-7780 Chester Chester is a 5 year old neutered male.

Summer is an especially difficult time to collect enough blood to meet the needs of hospital patients. Many schools that host blood drives are out of session during the summer, and regular donors are often vacationing, potentially making them less available to give. Those who come to donate blood with the Red Cross June 8-14 will receive a limited-edition Nexcare give bandage in one of eight global-inspired designs in honor of World Blood Donor Day. Every day this summer is a chance to give hope. Eligible donors are encouraged to choose their day to make a difference. Donors of all blood types – especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative – are needed. To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767).

Throughout the day we enjoyed entertainment from Frank Joseph Cepero and students, the ABC Center for Performing Arts Dancers, Carle School of Irish Dance, Zumba, as well as team fundraisers including the golf ball drop. This year the theme was “Heroes of Hope” so team sites were decorated in something to represent their hero. Each team had a team lap which was a lot of fun for everyone. Music, activities, walking and fun took place all through the day with our DJ Greg Davie and music provided by Noel Goodspeed and Dan Heuer. The Carle School of Irish Dance led us into our luminary ceremony. About 1,200 candles were glowing in honor or in memory of a loved one who either survived or lost their battle to this disease.

Thru Sat. 10 — Tri-Town News — Thursday, May 28 2015 Village of Sidney Annual Drinking Water Quality Report for 2014 21 Liberty Street Sidney, NY 13838 INTRODUCTION To comply with State and Federal regulations, the Village of Sidney annually issues a report describing the quality of your drinking water. The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of drinking water and awareness of the need to protect our drinking water sources. Last year, your tap water met all New York State drinking water health standards. This report provides an overview of last year’s water quality. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to State standards. We want you to be informed about your drinking water. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your drinking water, please contact Shane Nordberg, Chief Water Operator (607) 561-2330. WHERE DOES OUR WATER COME FROM? In general, the sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activities. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: microbial contaminants; inorganic contaminants; pesticides and herbicides; organic chemical contaminants; and radioactive contaminants. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, New York State and the EPA prescribe regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The State Health Department’s and the FDA’s regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Water for the Village of Sidney is supplied by two well supplies. The Village also has two reservoir supplies currently not in use but available for backup if needed. Primary Well – Developed in 1988. This is our primary water supply and pumps at a rate of 780-800 gallons per minute. An 800 gallon per minute pump restriction was placed on this well due to the proximity of the former Amphenol lagoons. Secondary Well – Developed in 1946. This well is our secondary supply and is exercised but generally is not pumped for any extended periods of time. It has a pumping capacity of 425 gallons per minute. (The water from this well tends to have a higher manganese content than our primary well). Storage Tank – The Village of Sidney has one in-system storage tank constructed of pre-stressed concrete with a storage capacity of 2 million gallons. Additional Storage – The Village of Sidney has two upland reservoir systems as standby storage with capacities of 86 million and 45 million gallons. We are fortunate to have a very prolific aquifer capable of furnishing about 4 times our normal water requirement, although we have had some problems with manganese, a naturally occurring dissolved metal very similar to iron with associated problems of staining and black particles in water that are considered a nuisance but not a health concern. FACTS AND FIGURES The Village of Sidney Water System serves a population of approximately 3,900 residents in the Village of Sidney and portions of Riverside, East Guilford and adjacent areas. There are approximately 1,500 service connections including residential, commercial and industrial customers. The total water produced in 2014 was 272,902,000 gallons. The daily average of water treated and pumped into the distribution system from our primary and/or secondary well is 747,383 gallons per day. Our highest single day usage was 1,137,000 gallons. Water usage included all water furnished for consumption, fire flows and losses. Because water usage for Village residential customers is not metered, the amount of losses in the system is unknown. In 2001 the water rate was lowered by 5% the flat rate per unit was $25.41 per quarter and the metered rate was $2.032 per 1000 gallons. Those rates remained constant in 2002, 2003, and 2004. In 2005 the flat rate increased to $27.95 per unit, and the metered rate went to $2.236 per 1000 gallons. Those rates remained constant in 2006, and 2007. In 2008 the flat rate increased to $34.10 per unit and the metered rate went to $2.728 per 1000 gallons. In 2010 the flat rate increased to $36.85/quarter per unit and the metered rate went to $2.948 per 1000 gals. The typical annual flat rate charge for a residential water customer is $147.40 billed in equal quarterly installments of $36.85 and remained the same rates in 2012 and 2013. WATER TREATMENT Our water system includes a treatment facility which treats water from our primary well or secondary well or both. Controls are capable of handling variable flow rates automatically. Treatment consists of: • Sequestering – to control manganese. Sequestering also has the effect of providing corrosion control. • Fluoridation – to adjust the fluoride level from a natural level of less than 0.2 ppm to 1.0 part per million. • Chlorination using liquid chlorine – Controls include automatic pacing of chlorine added, based on water flow rate, automatic analysis for monitoring the end result, and alarms with a dialer system to warn if levels are not within acceptable limits. The chlorine level at the treatment facility is 1.2 ppm. We are required to maintain a residual of 0.2 ppm throughout the system. ARE THERE CONTAMINANTS IN OUR DRINKING WATER? The Village of Sidney performs all testing as required by New York State regulations. We routinely test your drinking water for numerous contaminants. The water system is operated by and samples are collected and processed by New York State licensed operators. Samples are analyzed at our laboratory and at NYS certified commercial laboratories. Daily testing consists of: 1. Chlorine Residual – twice per day to verify the disinfection system operation. 2. Fluoride – to monitor our adjusted fluoride level, and 3. pH Monthly testing consists of: 6 samples for coliform bacteria Manganese levels (voluntary). Phosphate Testing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) which include solvents and cleaning fluid compounds such as TCE (trichloroethylene), Cis 1,2 dichloroethylene, chloroform, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, trihalomethanes, and MTBE (methyltert-butyl-ether, a gasoline additive). We test for 54 compounds in this group. Maximum contamination levels (M.C.L.’s) are 5 ppb (parts per billion) of each item. Of these, typically we have no detection of 52 of these compounds. In the past we have generally detected TCE levels from 1.9 to 4.0 parts per billion and Cis 1,2 dichloroethylene at levels from 1.2 to 2.5 parts per billion at our primary well. In 2013, the monthly average for TCE was 2.37 ppb. The monthly average for Cis 1,2 dichloroethylene was 1.62 ppb. These levels have been historically very consistent. In 2001 we detected benzene in 1 of the 12 samples at a level of 0.9 ppb. In 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 benzene was not detected in any sample and has not been detected since 2005. In 2005 we detected bromodichloromethane (a byproduct of chlorination for disinfection), in 1 of the 12 samples at a level of 0.73 ppb. In 2006 we detected bromodichloromethane in 1 of 12 samples at a level of 0.9 ppb and Chlorobromomethane in 2 of 12 samples at levels of 0.51 ppb and 1.0 ppb. In 2008 we had no detection of bromodichloromethane, or Chlorobromomethane. In 2008 we detected Chloromethane (also a byproduct of chlorination for disinfection) in 1 of 12 samples at a level of 0.8 ppb. In 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 we had no detection of bromodichloromethane, Chlorobromomethane, Chloromethane. The greatest concern with respect to these items is whether they would increase to exceed acceptable limits. Groundwater studies of flows, flow directions and groundwater qualities are ongoing. Quarterly testing consists of: Quarterly tests for VOC’s are performed on our secondary well (standby well) with results similar to our primary well. Annual testing consists of: Nitrate – 2014 result = 66 ug/l (MCL 10,000 ug/l) Manganese: The latest certified manganese sampling was above the MCL for manganese. This MCL is considered to be based on aesthetics rather than on a health risk. The Village adds a sequestering agent to the water (health department approved) to help control the effects of manganese in the water (i.e.; black flakes and staining); the Village performs monthly sampling to further monitor manganese levels. This process testing has indicated that levels of manganese in the last year may be as high as 0.49 ppm (490 ppb) with an average of 0.448 ppm (448 ppb). 3 year testing consists of: 1. 20 samples for lead (2013 result) - 20 samples were tested for lead with none exceeding the action level of 0.015 mg/l. 2. 20 samples for copper (2013 result) - 20 samples were tested for copper with 90 % being less than 386 ug/l (AL-1300 ug/l) 3. Synthetic Organic Compounds (SOC’s) – 2013 result including pesticides – no detection. 4. Inorganic Compounds Group I & II and sodium & corrosivity. The Village is required to perform 3-year testing of inorganic compounds Group I and II, which include manganese. The village has elected to perform annual certified testing of these items which results are reported in the appendix. 5. Total Haloacetic Acids – 2014 result = 3.43 ug/L (MCL 60 ug/L) 6. Trihalomethanes – 2014 result 7.84 ug/l (MCL 100 ug/l) 9 year testing Radiological & Radon Radiological testing was performed in 2010. The results were Gross Alpha 2.28 +/- 1.02 pCi/l, which has an MCL of 15 pCi/l Gross Beta 4.03 +/-1.03 pCi/L (MCL of 15), MCL of 5 pCi/l. The Village of Sidney is continuing voluntary testing for Radon, Radium 226, and Radium 228 on an annual basis. The current NYS Health Department requirement is testing every 9 years. In the year 2014, we collected 1 sample for radon. The result was 847.7 pCi/l. (see “Information on Radon” later in this report). One sample was processed for Radium 226 with a result of 0.19 pCi/l, and 1 sample for Radium 228 with a result of 0.9 pCi/l, Compared to 488.5 pCi/l, 0.12, and 0.17 pCi/l respectively in 2012. In 2004 additional testing conducted by the U.S. Department of the Interior throughout the Upper Susquehanna River Basin consisted of a wide range of elements and chemicals including nutrients, trace metals, common anions and cations, volatile organic compounds and Radon 222. Radon 222 was detected at a level of 1050 pCi/l. No mcl has been established for Radon at this time. A complete list of the analytes detected, and their detection limits is on file and can be viewed at the Village Clerk’s office in the Sidney Civic Center 21 Liberty Street. It should be noted that all drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) or the NYS Department of Health, Oneonta District Office (607-432-3911). 1. 2. 3. 4. DEFINITIONS Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCL’s are set as close to the MCLG’s as feasible. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected health risk. MCLG’s allow for a margin of safety. Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Non-Detects (ND): Laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present. Milligrams per liter (mg/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid in one million parts (parts per million – ppm). Micrograms per liter (ug/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid in one billion parts (parts per billion – ppb). Picocuries per liter (pCi/l): A measure of radioactivity in water. WHAT DOES THIS INFORMATION MEAN? As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. We have learned through our testing that some contaminants have been detected; however, these contaminants were detected below New York State requirements. Trichloroethylene (TCE) was detected but below the MCL. It was detected in our primary well and our secondary well at the average of 2.37 ppb and 1.1 ppb respectively. Cis 1,2 Dichloroethylene was also detected but below the MCL. It was detected in our primary well and our secondary well at the average of 1.62 ppb, and .85 respectively. The likely source of this type of contamination is through discharge from industrial factories or metal degreasing sites. The source of these low levels of contamination has been identified and an action plan has been established through the combined effort of the Village of Sidney, The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, The NYS Department of Health and the local industry believed to be responsible for the contamination. This action plan is on file at the Sidney Civic Center and may be implemented if the contaminants were to reach the MCL during a testing period. IS OUR WATER SYSTEM MEETING OTHER REGULATIONS THAT GOVERN OPERATIONS? During 2014, our system was in compliance with all applicable State drinking water requirements (except manganese) See manganese under “annual testing” and “system improvements planned”. A supplement to this report containing analytical testing results from samples collected from the Village of Sidney water supply is available for inspection at the Village of Sidney Civic Center. For additional information on the Village of Sidney Annual Drinking Water Quality Report for 2014, please contact Shane Nordberg, Chief Operator, 21 Liberty Street, Sidney, New York 13838 (607)561-2324. CRYPTOSPORIDIUM AND GIARDIA INFORMATION New York State law requires water suppliers to notify their customers about the risk of cryptosporidium and giardia. Cryptosporidosis and giardiasis are intestinal illnesses caused by microscopic parasites. Cryptosopridiosis can be very serious for people with weak immune systems, such as chemotherapy, dialysis or transplant patients, and people with Crohn’s disease or HIV infection. People with weakened immune systems should discuss with their health care providers the need to take extra precautions such as boiling water, using a certified bottled water or a specialty approved home filter. Individuals who think they may have cryptosporidiosis or giardiasis should contact their health care provider immediately. For additional information on cryptosporidiosis or giardiasis, please contact the NYS Department of Health, Oneonta District Office at (607) 432-3911 to obtain detailed fact sheets or call the DOH Duty Officer at 1-866-881-2809 during non-office hours. The Village of Sidney obtains all of its water from drilled wells. As the Health Department fact sheets note: Properly drilled and maintained wells that use ground water are generally protected from surface contamination and are UNLIKELY to contain cryptosporidiosis or giardiasis. INFORMATION ON RADON Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in soil and outdoor air that may also be found in drinking water and indoor air. Some people exposed to elevated radon levels over many years in drinking water may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Radon can enter indoor air from soil under homes. The main risk to persons exposed to radon through indoor air is lung cancer. There currently is no MCL for radon. For additional information call the NYS Radon Program (1-800-458-1158) or call EPA’s Radon Hotline (1-800-SOS-Radon). DO I NEED TO TAKE SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS? Although our drinking water met or exceeded state and federal regulations, some people may be more vulnerable to disease causing microorganisms or pathogens in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice from their health care provider about their drinking water. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium, Giardia and other microbial pathogens are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Note: Water customers who are on home dialysis should contact the Village of Sidney at 561-2330 in order to be placed on our water prioritization list. WATER CONSERVATION Although our system has an adequate amount of water to meet present and future demands, there are a number of reasons why it is important to conserve water: • Saving water saves energy and some of the costs associated with both of these necessities of life. • Saving water reduces the cost of energy required to pump water and the need to construct costly new wells, pumping systems and water towers; and • Saving water lessens the strain on the water system during a dry spell or drought, helping to avoid severe water use restrictions so that essential fire fighting needs are met. Water metering is generally considered the first step toward water conservation. Industrial, commercial and some multifamily residences are metered. Single family residences are not metered. You can play a role in conserving water by becoming con- Tri-Town News — Thursday, May 28, 2015 — 11 Table of Detected Contaminants Contaminant Violation Yes/No Date of Sample Level Detected (Average) (Range) Unit Measurement MCLG Nitrate Sodium Chloride Sulfate Barium Manganese Lead Copper* No No No No No No No No 8/5/14 12/4/14 12/5/13 12/5/13 12/5/13 Monthly 12/5/13 12/5/13 .66 22.6 49.9 15.2 164 .441 Range ND 2.4 mg/l mg/l mg/l mg/l ug/l ug/l mg/l ug/l 0 1300 Radon Trichloroethylene Primary Well Secondary Well Cis 1,2 Dichloroethylene Primary Well Secondary Well Gross Alpha Radium 226 Radium 228 Nickel Calcium Hardness Color No 12/5/13 1161 pCi/l pCi/l N/A No No Monthly Quarterly No No No No No No No No No Monthly Quarterly 4/15/10 12/5/13 12/5/13 12/4/14 12/5/13 12/5/13 12/5/13 Avg. 2.04 1.0-1.4 Avg. 1.13 0.9-1.3 Avg. 1.3 1.0- 1.4 Avg. .93 0.8- 1.2 Arsenic Total Haloacetics Total Trihalomethanes Bromodichloromethane Chlorobromomethane No No No No No Chloromethane No 12/4/14 9/30/14 9/30/14 9/15/06 9/15/06 12/7/06 9/4/08 2.28 .18 .55 +/- 1.02 +/- 0.08 +/- 0.44 .0013 64.4 161 <5 0.0007 3.43 7.84 0.90** Avg.-.75 .51,1.0*** 0.8**** Regulatory Limit (MCL, TT or AL) Likely Source of Contamination 10,000 ug/l N/A 250 mg/l 250 mg/l 2000 ug/l 300 ug/l AL=15 AL=1300 ug/l Runoff from fertilizer use; erosion of natural deposits Naturally occurring; road salt; water softeners Naturally occurring or indicative of road salt contamination Naturally occurring Discharge of drilling wastes; Discharge from metal refineries; Naturally occurring Corrosion of household plumbing systems; erosion of natural deposits Corrosion of household plumbing systems; erosion of natural deposits N/A Decay of natural deposits ug/l 0 5 ug/l Discharge from metal degreasing sites ug/l N/A 5 ug/l Discharge from Industrial factories pCi/l pCi/l pCi/l mg/l mg/l mg/l Color Units 15 pCi/l Erosion of Natural Deposits Erosion of Natural Deposits 226 + 228 =5 pCi/l Erosion of Natural Deposits No MCL Naturally Occurring No MCL Naturally Occurring No MCL Naturally Occurring Secondary Standard 15 units Naturally Occurring mg/l ug/l ug/l ug/l ug/l .05 60 ug/l 100 ug/l 100 ug/l 5 ug/l Erosion of Natural Deposit By-product of drinking water chlorination By-product of drinking water chlorination By-product of drinking water chlorination By-product of drinking water chlorination ug/l 5 ug/l By-product of drinking water chlorination Notes: **- 1 of 12 Samples ***-2 of 12 Samples ****-1 of 12 Samples * - The level presented represents the 90th percentile of the 20 sites tested.

The 90th percentile is equal to or greater than 90% of the copper values detected in a water system. In this case, 20 samples were collected from selected sites throughout the Village, meeting criteria established by the NYS Department of Health. The 90th percentile value was the third highest value detected. (0.386 mg/l or 386 ug/l). The action level for copper (1.3 mg/l or 1300 ug/l) was not exceeded at any of the sites tested. scious of the amount of water your household is using, and by looking for ways to use less whenever you can. It is not hard to conserve water. Conservation tips include: • Checking inside faucets for leaks. Even a faucet with a small drip can waste a lot of water. • Keeping showers to five minutes or less in length, or by taking baths. • Turning off the water when brushing your teeth. • Installing water saving shower heads or flow restrictors. • Keeping a pitcher of water in the refrigerator, so you won’t have to run the tap to cool it. • Using Automatic dishwashers and clothes washers for full loads only. • Checking your toilets for leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank, watch for a few minutes to see if the color shows up in the bowl. It is not uncommon to lose up to 100 gallons a day from one of these otherwise invisible toilet leaks. Fix it and you save more than 30,000 gallons a year. • Using a broom to sweep your driveway, garage or sidewalk instead of using water. • Planting drought resistant trees and plants. • Saving dishwater, bath water and air conditioning water for use on ornamental plants (only if chemicals have not been used.) A little soap won’t hurt plants. • Using water only when needed. Always turn the faucet off when you are finished using water. WATER SYSTEM EVENTS DURING FLOOD OF JUNE 2006 Flood waters shutdown Wells 2-88 and 1-46 and the Treatment Building approximately 2 AM Thursday June 29, 2006. The water tank was then used to supply the Village until noon of 6-29-06 when it was shut off and the Pinehill Reservoir supply was brought on line with chlorination and a boiled water notice. A spare motor was located and installed on well 2-88 and put back on line July 3, 2006, Pinehill Reservoirs were shut off, and the water tank turned back on. The boiled water order stayed in effect until July12, 2006 when a series of bacteria tests indicated the water to be safe for human consumption. The boiled water order remained in effect until July 19, 2006 for customers north of the Guilford Creek due to replacing the 6” water line that had been washed out from the flood. Except for a few customers in East Guilford, at no time were any Village of Sidney water customers without water during or after the flood. WATER SYSTEM EVENTS DURING FLOOD OF SEPTEMBER 2011 Due to flooding NYSEG shut down the power at approximately 11am on September 8, 2011 shutting down the well supply. The water tank was then used to supply the Village until 3:50pm on September 9, 2011 when the tank was shut off due to low water and the Pine Hill reservoir supply was brought on line with chlorination and a Health Dept. boil water order. NYSEG power came back on at 8pm on September 10, 2011, Well 2-88 was turned back on, the water tank was brought back on line and Pine Hill Reservoir supply was turned off. The boil water order remained in effect until September 14, 2011 when the second round of bacteria samples indicated the water to be safe for human consumption. Numerous water services in the flooded areas had to be turned off. The water supply overall was not disrupted. SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED OR PLANNED • Manganese removal system: The village has performed a feasibility study for removal of manganese and a new well source of water that has no manganese and is not prone to flooding. The well study will be going forward with test well exploration. • Distribution system improvements. • Additional transmission main improvements on the main from the 2 million gallon storage tank at Pine Hill. • • • Water valve rehabilitation and exercise program. Fire hydrant replacement program. Repair spillways on Pine Hill reservoirs #2 and #3 and Peckham Reservoir that were damaged by the June 2006 and September 2011 Floods • Relocate a 200 ft. section of the 10” transmission line from Peckham Reservoir • Protect the 6” water line crossing Guilford Creek Note: The Village of Sidney is presently updating its backflow prevention program as required by the New York State Department of Health. Those water customers that have a backflow preventer or customers that have hot water boilers for heating their house are asked to contact the Village Clerk’s Office at 561-2324 so we can update our list. MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS COMPLETED Performed a leak detection study throughout the Village water system in 1999. During this study, 18 leaks were identified. These leaks consisted of fire hydrant leaks, valve leaks and service leaks with an estimated total daily leakage of 120,000 gallons per day. Repairs were made accordingly. In 2000 we located and corrected more leaks in the distribution system totaling in excess of 200,000 gallons per day. • Rehabilitation of our primary well in December 2012. In 2012 the specific capacity had reduced to less than 60% of its original specific capacity (a measure of the potential output of the well). Following rehabilitation, the specific capacity was returned to nearly the original specific capacity of the well. • Performed vibration analysis on our primary well pump and motor. In 2006, vibration was found to be within acceptable limits. • Developed a water system security plan to minimize the risk of accidental or intentional disruption at our facilities and updated our Emergency Response Plan in 2012. • Upgraded the chlorination system in 2002 – Replaced the gas chlorination system with a liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) system for improved safety. • Installed a security gate on our primary well supply and Treatment Building. • Replaced 5 fire hydrants under our replacement program in 2003, 5 fire hydrants in 2004 and 6 fire hydrants in 2008, 4 in 2009, 1 in 2010, 1 in 2011, 2 in 2012, 2 in 2013, and 2 in 2014. • Rebuilt portions of Pine Hill #3 Reservoir spillway and Peckham Reservoir spillway in 2003. • Installed a new valve on Peckham Reservoir transmission line at the reservoir discharge in 2005. • Installed a blow-off valve for Pine Hill #2 Reservoir in 2005. • Installed a security and fire alarm system at the treatment building in 2005. • Well #2-88 (primary well) underwent rehab in 2005, 2008, 2010 and 2012. • Replaced 6” Water line across Guilford Creek in 2006. • Took emergency protective measures to repair the spillway and embankment of the Peckham Reservoir following the June 2006, and September 2011 Flooding • Took emergency protective measures to repair the broken 10” water line and secure a 200ft section of the water line coming from Peckham Reservoir, better secured the 6” water line crossing Guilford Creek, covered a 10ft section of 16” water line coming from the water tank, and replaced a section of culvert pipe and back filled over the 12” water main that runs under Rt. 8 • Peckham Brook water crossing replaced and added a blow off for flushing. Conducted analysis of Peckham Reservoir embankment, spillway and piping damages caused by 2006 flooding, set up inspection and maintenance schedules for Peckham Reservoir and Pine Hill Reservoirs. Began measuring and recording water levels at Peckham Reservoir and groundwater levels using the Two newly drilled piezometers • • • • • • on the dam. Increased security at Peckham Reservoir by installing new gates and made improvements to the access road. Permanent repairs are scheduled for 2011 with FEMA and SEMO funding. Repaired the access road to Pine Hill reservoirs in 2007, damaged by the flood of 2006. Installed submersible well pumps and motors on our primary and secondary wells to prevent future damage from flooding Replaced controls and wiring and raised above flood level at well 2-88, well 1-46, and The water Treatment Building Replaced the booster pump at the Siver and Loomis Booster pump station in 2013.

NOTEWORTHY The Village of Sidney was selected as having the best tasting water in New York State in 1989 and has been very competitive each year since. CLOSING Thank you for allowing us to continue to provide your family with quality drinking water this year. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community and our way of life. Please call our office if you have questions. Sidney Village Water System NY1200270 AWQR Summary The NYS DOH has completed a source water assessment for this system, based on available information. Possible and actual threats to the drinking water sources were evaluated. The state source water assessment includes a susceptibility rating based on the risk posed by each potential source of contamination and how easily contaminants can move through the subsurface to the wells. The susceptibility rating is an estimate of the potential for contamination of the source water, it does not mean that the water delivered to consumers is, or will be contaminated. While nitrates (and other inorganic contaminants) were detected in our water, it should be noted that all drinking water including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants from natural sources. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. The nitrate levels present in our sources is not considered high for this area. Organic contaminants have also been detected in our sources and are related to existing hazardous waste sites. We continue to work with the appropriate agencies to ensure the impacts to our water sources are minimal. See section “Are there contaminants in our drinking water?” for a list the contaminants that have been detected. As mentioned before, our water is derived from 2 drilled wells. The source water assessment has rated these wells as having a high susceptibility to microbials, nitrates, industrial solvents, and other industrial contaminants. These ratings are due primarily to the close proximity of permitted discharge facilities (industrial/commercial facilities that discharge wastewater into the environment and are regulated by the state and/or federal government), low intensity residential activities, chemical bulk storage facilities, and hazardous waste sites within the assessment area. In addition, the well(s) draws from an unconfined aquifer of unknown hydraulic conductivity. While the source water assessment rates our well(s) as being susceptible to microbials, please note that our water is disinfected to ensure that the finished water delivered to your home meets New York State’s drinking water standards for microbial contamination. A copy of the assessment, including a map of the assessment area, can be obtained by contacting the Village Clerk’s Office at (607) 561-2324. 12 — Tri-Town News — Thursday, May 28 2015 Afton Baseball Overcomes Sloppy A REA G OLF R ESULTS Defense to Win Sectional Opener HARDWOOD HILLS Wed.

Afton mounted the winning rally when Graven-Briggs walked to lead off the inning. He then stole second on the first pitch. After a strikeout, Tyler King singled up the middle, putting runners on the corners. King then stole second and McGwire Tuttle was intentionally walked to load the bases. Downsville then employed a six-man infield, two-man outfield, but Caiati foiled the strategy when his basehit lofted over the sixth infielder and into centerfield, scoring Graven-Briggs with the winner. Afton led 1-0 after an inning and held that lead until the top of the fifth when Downsville scored two unearned runs, thanks in part to three Afton errors. The Crimson Knights (8-6) scored twice in the bottom of the sixth on Tuttle RBI double, which scored Caiati with the tying run, then went ahead when Tuttle scored on a wild pitch. However, the Purple Eagles tied it in the top of the seventh when Matt Rampe led off by reaching second on a doubleerror at third. He moved to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on a wild pitch. Afton picked up the win despite five errors. Pitchers Colin Nabinger and Brody Croft combined allow two hits while striking out 12. Croft picked up the win with four innings of relief.

Ouimet and Ryan Jones blooped basehits off losing pitcher Kevin Davis, setting up Sean Jones’ heroics - his hit scoring a sliding Ouimet. B-G (10-5) grabbed a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second when Austin Carr launched a double to deep left and Bailey Green followed with a single up the middle. Oxford evened the score in the fourth. Davis was hit by a pitch and Richard Ryan walked to start the frame. After an out, Dylan DePew singled to center to load the bases. Daniel Lawton’s grounder to short was bobbled, allowing Davis to score, but shortstop Trevor Halaquist recovered and forced Ryan at third for the second out. Ouimet got out of the jam by inducing Austin Crawford into a groundout. Ouimet and Davis went the distance for the respective teams. Ouimet allowed four hits and three walks with six strikeouts, while Davis scattered eleven hits. He did not walk a batter and struck out eight in a tough loss. Jon Heggie had two hits for Oxford, who finish 9-8.

May Is Mental Health Month Did you know that “May is Mental Health Month?” Why, because nearly one in five Americans have a mental illness each year and one in four people will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives. That’s right, 57.7 million American have some form of mental illness. Mental illness is a disease that causes mild to severe disturbances in thought and behavior. The trouble is, 2/3 of the people with a known mental disorder never seek help, they simply don’t know where to turn! Help spread the word: mental illness is not a personal failure! In fact if there is a failure, it is to be found in the way we have responded to people with mental and brain disorders. Support your family and friends. Do you have questions, want more information, or need someone to talk to? Call the Delaware Warm Line on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursdays from 5 to 8 p.m. toll-free at 1-844-865-3156 or locally at 865-3156. Friends of Rogers Is ‘Batty for Bats’ SHERBURNE - Bats often have a bad reputation as blood-sucking demons trying to fly into your hair. But bats are quite good for people and the environment, yet their populations are declining. On Tuesday, June 2 you can give bats a second chance by joining Val Mitchell, current naturalist intern with Friends of Rogers and a previous bat technician, as she shares about these misunderstood creatures. Learn the truth about bats, discover how important they are to us, and what we can do to help them. The program begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Visitor’s Center. “White-nose syndrome is a disease killing off many of our bats, and bat habitat is declining around the world. People don’t realize how important bats are to us. If bats go extinct, insect populations will increase out of control, pesticide use will dramatically increase, and many agricultural plants will lose their prime pollinator,” said Mitchell. “Putting up a bat house is a simple way to help bats and provide them with a place to live. It can also help people get bats out of their own homes while still having the bats nearby, keeping the insect population in check.” After the presentation, guests will have the option of becoming a bat conservationist by building a bat house to take home for a nominal materials fee per bat house. Free architectural plans will also be available for those who prefer to build bat houses on their own. Rogers Center is operated by Friends of Rogers Environmental Education Center, Inc., a nonprofit organization that offers educational programs for all ages. Seasonal hours are from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, call 674-4733 or visit www.FriendsofRogers.org. Franklin Students are Winners Of DAR History Essay Contest ONEONTA - For many years, the Oneonta Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) has sponsored an essay contest for students in grades 5-8. This contest, the American History Essay Contest, has a different topic each year. This year the topic was chosen to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Ellis Island and the title for the essay was “A Childs Journey through Ellis Island.” In the past, many schools participated in this contest. Today, with changing demands on the school curriculum, only Franklin Central School was able to submit essays. The winning essay for grade five was Lucia Marsiglio. Her winning essay was done in the form of a letter from a new American citizen home to her family. She described the arrival at Ellis Island and the stations she had to complete before she could be released to her new home. The six grade winner was Paige Dutcher. Paige is a retuning winner, having won the fifth grade prize last year. Her essay described the first meeting of two cousins, one already in America and the other newly arrived. Both students were introduced and read their essays at the Annual Awards Luncheon sponsored by the Oneonta DAR. They were accompanied to the luncheon by their families. Ruth Schaeffer, Chair of the DAR Chapter program also recognized their teacher, Mrs. DeCarlo from Franklin Central School, for her many years of support for the American History Essay program.

Tri-Town News — Thursday, May 28, 2015 — 17 PUZZLE CORNER Across Area 4-Hers ‘Remodel Their Models’ by Emily Roach HAMDEN - It was a great year for sewing On Monday, April 20 and Tuesday, April 21, 4-Hers brought their sewing projects to be evaluated in Deposit by Joan Dewing, Hobart by Amy Kilmer and Deb Muller, and in Hamden by Cathy Scofield, Joan Dewing, and Penny Bishop. All three judges in Hamden took the time to help judge 4-H teens who had sewn full outfits and were in competition to attend the New York State Fair Fashion Revue in August. We appreciate all of the judges for volunteering their time and the expert advice they gave to help the 4-Hers with their sewing projects. Friday, May t was a fun night that showcased all of these 4-Hers awesome sewing projects. This year’s Fashion Revue was themed ‘Remodel Your Model’ and was held at 4-H Camp Shankitunk in Delhi. Approximately, thirty 4-H members, ages 5-18 from various clubs participated. Some of this year’s sewing projects featured dresses, stuffed ele- phants, sweatshirts and more. To go along with this year’s theme, 4-Hers divided up into teams of 3-4 and chose one of the team members to be a ‘model.’ Then the teams chose from a large assortment of clothing and accessories that they had brought to the Fashion Revue to be later donated to Delaware County families who are in need through Delaware Opportunities. Once the 4-Hers found the clothing and accessories they wanted to use for their ‘models’ they chose a team name and wrote a commentary about their ‘remodeled model.’ The 4-Hers had a blast and came up with some awesome outfit designs. The night ended with 4-H Extension Educator, Emily Roach, thanking all the people who helped make the Fashion Revue a success and the State Fair finalists were announced. To qualify to be a finalist, teens are required to make or purchase a complete outfit in order to be selected to participate in the New York State Fair Fashion Revue. These finalists will model at the New York State Fair from August 30-September 3, during the time period that Delaware County 4-H will be at the New York State Fair in Syracuse. In the Sewn Category, the following 4-H teens were chosen: 1st Finalist: Abigail Dennis, from Treadwell, an Independent Member; 2nd Finalist: Neah McClenon, Trout Creek, a member of the Royal Rockets 4-H Club; and 3rd Finalist: Shaelie McClenon, Trout Creek, a member of the Royal Rockets 4-H Club. A special thank you to all the leaders and parents who helped with sewing projects; your assistance and support made the 4-H Fashion Revue a success. Thank you also to everyone who donated clothing. Check out the 4-Hers sewing projects and the 4-H Teen Council Quilt in the 4-H Youth Building at the Delaware County Fair, Aug. 17-22. If you would like more information on Delaware County 4-H, please contact Emily Roach, 4-H Extension Community Educator at 865-6531 or [email protected]. Friends of Rogers Hosts Program On Growing Vegetables in Raised Beds SHERBURNE - Friends of Rogers hosts Stacie Edick, Community Gardens Coordinator of Chenango County Cornell Cooperative Extension, for an engaging workshop at the Rogers Environmental Education Center. Join fellow gardening enthusiasts at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, June 3 to learn about growing vegetables in a raised bed garden. Participants will consider special watering needs, spacing, feeding and the many advantages of raised bed gardening: reduced weeding, no bending, and an easy harvest. For the second year in a row, Friends of Rogers invites the local community to garden at Rogers Center, where a limited number of raised bed plots are now open for the season. Space is available on a firstcome, first-serve basis to individuals and families. Groups wishing to raise crops for local food cupboards are also eligible for a spot. Preference is given to those without space for a garden at their place of residence. Participants sign a contract for the 2015 season agreeing to garden rules, and all gardeners are asked to have an active membership with Friends of Rogers. By hosting this program and community garden opportunities, Friends of Rogers is providing unique opportunities for increased exercise, health, recreation and wellbeing. Community gardens stimulate intergenerational and crosscultural social interaction, and participants benefit from a natural and inexpensive stress reliever which also produces delicious, fresh food. Rogers Center is operated by Friends of Rogers Environmental Education Center, Inc., a nonprofit organization that offers educational programs for all ages. Seasonal spring hours are from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. For more information or to apply for a garden plot, e-mail execdir@ FriendsofRogers.org, call 6744733 or visit www.FriendsofRogers.org.

She is currently employed as a part-time crew member at McDonalds. Next year, Ashley plans to attend the University of Rochester to study neuroscience.
